Perfect compliment to the Unicomp buckling spring keyboard I bought last year.
It took me a few days to get used to it (and to a certain extent, I still am!) but once you do, it's really comfortable and easy to use. Working on a PC for the day job, it's a welcome improvement from the mouse I had before. The only thing I'd say is make sure you get the right size. I've got small hands, so the small size is a good fit. The MediumLarge would be too big.
I found the default button functions caused a minor problem - Some 3D CAD packages use a wheel press and mouse movement to rotate the 3D view - the default assignment of Paste to the wheel press broke this. Easy to fix in the supplied driver though.
The Keyboard Company provide great service - Both the keyboard and the mouse arrived promptly, well packaged, and prices are not hugely expensive. In the case of the mouse, it was a bit cheaper than as on Amazon.
